Seed Donation Notebook with 'Seeds [etc?] [1859-1862]' on an RBGE Museum label on its cover which dates from 1859 to 1864 and documents donations of plants from around Britain and the World. There is no index and the notebook seems to be a more informal version of the Seed Donation Ledgers; similar to ones seen in the Plant Donations Subseries; it may have belonged to John Hutton Balfour or James McNab, but has a number of different examples of handwriting inside.
There are inserts; handle with care.
